| [00:17.190] |
I'm a ghetto child (Check it, out) |
| [00:22.730] |
There's a world out there that I wanna see |
| [00:25.610] |
There's a man that I'm destined to be |
| [00:28.300] |
I won't be stopped by the ghetto streets |
| [00:31.200] |
I believe inside that I can't be beat |
| [00:34.610] |
This life could be a ball and chain |
| [00:37.070] |
If you let yourself get caught in the game |
| [00:40.060] |
I had some friends who sold drugs for dough |
| [00:43.170] |
But I don't intend to go down that road |
| [00:45.650] |
Just because I'm a ghetto child |
| [00:48.320] |
I won't live down to your expectations (No, no) |
| [00:52.160] |
Just believe that a ghetto child |
| [00:54.190] |
Can rise in the highest celebration (Oh) |
| [00:57.440] |
Know that I am a ghetto child |
| [00:59.960] |
But I can see the best in me, can you |
| [01:03.240] |
I'm a ghetto child |
| [01:06.370] |
All the ghettos around the world, dig this |
| [01:08.730] |
One day I'm gonna change the world |
| [01:11.050] |
Make a better place for every boy and girl |
| [01:14.150] |
Everyone in need, homeless families |
| [01:16.110] |
Have a place to sleep and food to eat |
| [01:20.220] |
I'll take every gun off the streets |
| [01:22.090] |
So another tear won't be shed in grief |
| [01:25.710] |
And every thug in every hood |
| [01:28.220] |
I will make 'em change from bad to good |
| [01:31.790] |
I believe that it can be done |
| [01:34.340] |
Gotta start somewhere and I'm that one |
| [01:36.510] |
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah) |
| [01:40.080] |
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah) |
| [01:43.350] |
Just because I'm a ghetto child |

I won't live down to your expectations |
| [01:47.480] |
Just believe that a ghetto child |
| [01:51.130] |
Can rise in the highest celebration |
| [01:54.530] |
Know that I am a ghetto child |
| [01:57.090] |
But I can see the best in me, can you |
| [02:00.540] |
I'm a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah, ooh) |
| [02:04.490] |
{Hey, yo', look at me inna different light} |
| [02:07.650] |
{Spare me all about those stereotypes} |
| [02:10.250] |
Ain't no madness that'll bring me down |
| [02:14.340] |
Gonna take this life and turn it around |
| [02:18.030] |
{Now see, the sky's the limit, I won't be denied} |
| [02:21.230] |
{Ain't no stoppin' me, I'm a ghetto child} |
| [02:23.370] |
And at the end when it's said and done |
| [02:25.990] |
We will all be singin' this ghetto song |
| [02:29.470] |
I believe that it can be done (Yeah, oh) |
